Subject: CVE-2021-47245: netfilter: synproxy: Fix out of bounds when parsing TCP options

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: synproxy: Fix out of bounds when parsing TCP options

The TCP option parser in synproxy (synproxy_parse_options) could read
one byte out of bounds. When the length is 1, the execution flow gets
into the loop, reads one byte of the opcode, and if the opcode is
neither TCPOPT_EOL nor TCPOPT_NOP, it reads one more byte, which exceeds
the length of 1.

This fix is inspired by commit 9609dad263f8 ("ipv4: tcp_input: fix stack
out of bounds when parsing TCP options.").

v2 changes:

Added an early return when length < 0 to avoid calling
skb_header_pointer with negative length.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47245 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
